OhMyGod
Hi guys, my PC looks bit screwed up recently.

Heres the problem, ever since ive install iTunes(it was working fine til something went wrong, im not sure what), my PC startup randomly froze at the desktop... My antivirus icon etc was on the taskbar but everything froze, mouse cursor is still able to move though.

Ive checked my event viewer log and this log always appears whenever the long startup occurs.

DCOM got error "The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. " attempting to start the service iPod Service with arguments "" in order to run the server:
{063D34A4-BF84-4B8D-B699-E8CA06504DDE}


Heres the hijackthis log:
